We're off!!!!!!



Our excited team is sitting at the airport right now "as we speak"!
This is, by far, our most stress free, problem free, airport morning ever. We met at the school, weighed our bags, loaded them on the bus, prayed, and headed off to the airport.
Carol talked to the people at the desk about our extra 50 pound bags and asked if they could wave the $50 charge since they were for orphans in Ukraine. Well....we should really never be surprised when God answers our prayers with a miracle, but WOW....They did NOT charge us extra!!!! NOW....they may charge us when we get there, but God has proven Himself over and over and we have faith that we will not be charged extra when we arrive in Odessa.
Thanks to Ben, Dan, and Mer for coming to help us this morning. We will miss you greatly!!!! Of course, we get to see Mer next week, along with Mike and Bill.
Thank you parents and grandparents too. We appreciate your prayers and encouraging words. Know that we will be taking very good care of your kids. We will care for them just as we care for our own; they are in good hands.
